Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) camera test

This folder is dedicated to Raspberry Pi's new HQ camera.

The new camera gives a better quality imaging but it is 50% larger thus it requires a larger Lego housing, which challenges the tilting mechanism. The improvement is marginal for many cases because the performance of this microscope is anyway limited by other factors, like the low-cost objective lens.

Overall, I think it is NOT worth the extra effort and cost unless a completely new microscope architecture with a more stable tilting mechanism and a better quality lens is designed.

Follow these detailed instructions if you would like to try yourself.

Note: Use the modified Python code (MicroscoPy_HQ.py) in this folder for the best resolution.
